David Grandison

“David is one of the most creative and collaborative producers I have ever worked with. His vision and depth of knowledge of the web and social networking projects makes him unique. He exhibits a great mix of technology, creative understanding and professionalism. His background in education was extremely helpful in effectively linking content with video resources for the web. I was very thankful for the guidance and support David gave me while learning the ropes. He is a terrific team player and I hope I’ll have the opportunity to work with him again.”  Linda Fischl Southworth, Editor, Scholastic

“David is a very talented producer and terrific manager. I think that David’s greatest asset is his tremendous positive attitude. I knew that if I asked David to work on a project that he would accept without hesitation and tackle that project with professionalism and creativity. David was well-informed in “all things Web” and made it a point to share all new developments and research with his team. He is terrific working with clients and with his team. I would recommend David without hesitation.”  Kathy Walsh, Marketing Director, Scholastic

“David has been a great help to me on two different occasions: first when I supported the teachers at Teach For America, and secondly when I worked with the teachers at Achievement First, a network of charter schools. As senior producer of the teacher channel at Scholastic, David cares deeply about helping teachers and giving them the resources and information they need to have success in the classroom. David has always been extremely responsive, friendly, professional, and generous in all of our interactions, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again, soon!”  Rachel Brill, Operations Manager, Citywide Initiatives, Teach for America
